Dream Trip 2008: July

Great Travel Moment

It had been one year to the day that I had taken my last step down off of Mt. Hood in Oregon. It was the day of goodbye to my dearest friend, Brian Hall. I found myself with my beautiful wife walking one of the greatest sandy beaches is the world on Sanibel Island, FL. It was only a brief moment that which seemed to be a lifetime. I thought in silent disbelief--a part of me is gone forever. As I completed that thought, I peered up into this amazing lighthouse at the end of the beach just as the sun was passing through to illuminate it. At that moment, I knew in my heart that even though Brian is not physically here, he is very much a part of this place and still guides my way.
